- The study evaluates the effectiveness of pharmacist-integrated transitions of care (ToC) programs on reducing hospital readmissions beyond 30 days in a Medicare value-based population.* -
- Researchers conducted a chart review involving 1,065 hospital discharge encounters, comparing readmission rates among a control group and three intervention groups receiving different levels of pharmacist support.* -
- Results showed that while one intervention group saw no significant change, two others had substantially lower 90-day readmission rates, indicating the potential benefits of involving pharmacists in patient care post-discharge.*
